Seems like the focus is on orbital dynamics, so I’m guessing it is reacting against the magnetic field of the planet or the particulates in the solosphere.
It would be cool, though, if it were actually interacting with the zero point field or some similar bunky stuff. We can already extract minute amounts of matter from the field, ostensibly experimentally proven, so I suppose it’s not impossible to imagine that you might somehow be able to push on Casimir forces, perhaps.
